Chris Sununu Blames \u200cTrump for Recent Election Defeats<\/h2>\n<p>Gov. \u2062Chris Sununu \u2062(R-NH) has \u200bplaced the blame for\u200c a \u2063series of \u200d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-republican-mold-a-negative-brand-for-gop-candidates-chris-sununu\/\" title=\"Chris Sununu believes that Trump's influence on the Republican Party has created a detrimental image for GOP candidates.\">recent special election defeats<\/a> on former President Donald Trump. In a Sunday morning interview on Meet the Press, Sununu, a fourth-term \u2063Republican governor, \u200cexpressed his strong opposition to Trump&#8217;s campaign for a second stint in \u200dthe White House.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s about the former president more than anything,&#8221;\u200b Sununu \u200dstated. &#8220;I can tell you, I\u2019ve had school \u200dboard\u2063 members, Republican school\u200d board members, \u200bthat have lost their seats because they \u200cfelt like they\u200b had to constantly answer for\u2063 being \u2064a Trump Republican and all of that. \u200cIt\u2019s a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/graham-triggered-by-dr-seuss-and-the-muppet-show\/\" title=\"GRAHAM: Triggered By Dr. Seuss And \u2018The Muppet Show\u2019\">negative brand<\/a>. It puts a \u200blot of\u2064 hesitation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Sununu\u200d emphasized that the negative impact of the Trump brand extends beyond federal \u200bseats, affecting governorships, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nc-dem-senate-challenger-votes-against-bipartisan-school-reopening-bill\/\" title=\"NC Dem Senate Challenger Votes Against Bipartisan School Reopening Bill\">school boards<\/a>, and congressional seats. He particularly\u200b highlighted \u2062the independent-minded nature of New \u200cHampshire, where the Trump brand fails to\u2063 resonate.<\/p>\n<h3>Special Elections and Democratic Success<\/h3>\n<p>According to analysis from FiveThirtyEight, Democrats have outperformed the partisan lean of the areas in 38 special \u200celections held\u200d as of early last \u200cmonth, \u200dwith an average margin of 10%. This has resulted in Democratic blowouts in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/conservatives-flip-school-boards-in-wave-of-education-wins\/\" title=\"Conservatives Flip School Boards In Wave Of Education Wins\">traditionally blue areas<\/a> and\u200c closer races in more \u200dconservative areas.<\/p>\n<p>In a special election\u2064 held in May for\u200c a state House seat in\u2062 New Hampshire, the\u2064 Democratic candidate won by\u2064 a \u2063significant 43-point margin, surpassing the party&#8217;s estimated 23-point edge in the district.<\/p>\n<h3>Call\u2062 for Tougher Stance\u200c on Trump<\/h3>\n<p>Sununu, who has chosen not to run for\u200b a fifth term as governor or launch a bid for the White \u200cHouse, believes that GOP presidential candidates, with the exception of former New Jersey \u2064Gov. Chris\u2062 Christie, need to \u200ctake a tougher \u2062stance against Trump.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThey have to\u2064 be a little tougher on \u200bTrump. \u2026 What\u200d we saw on that debate stage last week,\u2062 I think\u200c there was still a little too much kowtow into him.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>New Hampshire will\u2063 hold the first Republican presidential primary next\u200b year, following the Iowa Caucus. While the date\u200b for the \u2063New Hampshire primary has not \u2062been finalized yet, it remains a crucial \u200dstate in the \u200dnomination process.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> to read\u2064 more from \u2063The Washington\u2062 Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gov.
